Coping with Gout
by Christine Craggs-Hinton
Gout has been brought to the forefront of health issues after an increase of cases particularly in young women. This is thought to be connected with the increased alcohol consumption in today’s society but there is a wide range of causes.
Gout is a type of acute arthritis characterised by severe pain and inflammation in the joints and soft tissues affected. When it is not treated attacks can become more frequent and painful and long-term damage can ensue.
This book explains the causes, which include overindulgence, crash dieting and injury, and how medicines and lifestyle changes can be used to control the pain and overcome the condition.
Christine Craggs-Hinton is a health writer. She is the author of Living with Fibromyalgia, The Fibromyalgia Healing Diet and The Chronic Fatigue Healing Diet.
